Clubs

Hispanic Club

The Hispanic Club is a department-sponsored student club whose members are interested in exploring Latino culture. Membership is highly encouraged for Latino/a students, but it is open to all students. Spanish-speaking ability is not required.

Cultural Fusion

Cultural Fusion is a department-sponsored student club whose members are interested in exploring the diverse world in which we live through multicultural and multilingual experiences. Membership is open to all students. However, membership is required for all foreign language and international business foreign language majors and minors.

Cultural Fusion is devoted to promoting the understanding of other cultures through service projects both on and off campus. When we're not giving back to the community, we enjoy going to movies, plays, museum exhibits and restaurants. Throughout the year we have fun and interesting fundraisers to cover much of the cost of activities. Members pay minimal dues to belong. New ideas are always welcome! Enjoy good times with good people in one of IU's most diverse clubs!
